A nurse is caring for a client who is at 14 weeks of gestation. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as the client being emotionally prepared for pregnancy?

A. "If I keep gaining weight, I will be miserable." Expressing anxiety about weight gain reflects a lack of emotional readiness and acceptance regarding the physical changes that accompany pregnancy. B. "I cannot believe I got pregnant. We really weren't even trying to have a baby." Indicating surprise suggests a lack of preparation for the emotional and practical aspects of pregnancy. This reflects that the client may not have fully accepted the reality of the situation. C. "I understand that hormonal changes can cause me to be happy one minute and sad the next." Recognizing and accepting the emotional fluctuations that can occur during pregnancy due to hormonal changes indicates a level of emotional preparation for the journey ahead. D. "This baby will totally change my lifestyle, and I am not sure I am ready for all of this." Acknowledging the impact of having a baby on lifestyle is important, but expressing uncertainty suggests that the client may still be struggling with the implications of becoming a parent.
